Reorganized National Government

The Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China, also known as the Wang Jingwei Regime or the Nanjing Government, was a Japanese puppet state in China which existed from 1940 to 1945. The government was led by the leftist Kuomintang leader Wang Jingwei, who was opposed to Chiang Kai-shek's autocratic style of ruling. The government was based in Nanjing and collaborated with the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the government was disbanded after the 15 August 1945 surrender of Japan at the end of World War II.
